Division BAT 98
United Kingdom
In order to reduce emissions of organic compounds to air from the raw material drying and smelting process in secondary lead and/or tin production, BAT is to use one or a combination of the techniques given below.
| Descriptions of the techniques are given in Section 1.10. | ||
| Techniquef1 | Applicability | |
|---|---|---|
| a | Select and feed the raw materials according to the furnace and the abatement techniques used | Generally applicable |
| b | Optimise combustion conditions to reduce the emissions of organic compounds | Generally applicable |
| c | Afterburner or regenerative thermal oxidiser | The applicability is restricted by the energy content of the off-gases that need to be treated, as off-gases with a lower energy content lead to a higher use of fuels |
BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 26.

BAT-associated emission levels for TVOC emissions to air from the raw material drying and smelting process in secondary lead and/or tin production
| As a daily average or as an average over the sampling period. | |
| Parameter | BAT-AEL (mg/Nm3)f2 |
|---|---|
| TVOC | 10-40 |
